The GlobalPreferredDescriptor Attribute

You can configure Informatica Address Verification to specify the output format for street, building, and sub-building element descriptors in several countries. To specify the output format for the element descriptors, configure the

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

attribute of the

Result

parameter in

Parameters.xml

The

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

attribute applies to English-language address element descriptors in Australia, Ireland, United States, and New Zealand addresses. The attribute also applies to the Strasse
element descriptor in Germany addresses. You can set the attribute in batch, interactive, and fast completion modes.

Specify one of the following values for the

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

attribute:

DATABASE: Returns the element descriptor available in the reference address database. This is the default value. If there is no matching entry in the database, Address Verification copies the input to the output.
LONG: Returns the expanded form of the element descriptor.; For example, Address Verification returns STREET for the input element ST.
SHORT: Returns the abbreviated form of the element descriptor.; For example, Address Verification returns AVE for the input element AVENUE.
PRESERVE_INPUT: Copies the element descriptor in the input to the output. If the input element descriptor is not an official name, Address Verification returns the corresponding value from the database in the output. For example, when you validate an Australia address that contains BD for boulevard, Address Verification corrects the descriptor to BVD. BVD is the standard short form for boulevard in Australia.
